Guacamole

I am OBSESSED with Guacamole! I keep the ingredients around and make it every other day or so. It is best with Tostitos chips with a hint of lime (in my opinion) ha!

I don't have a specific recipe because I'm not good about measuring (which is why I don't bake) - but since everyone has been asking me - this is how I make it.

Ingredients:

Roma tomatos

Avacados

One onion

Fresh cilantro

Jalepenos (optional)

Limes

I just slice up maybe one or two tomatos and maybe a half or less of an onion. Add several dashes of cilantro and salt. (just taste). If you like it hot - cut up a jalepeno - I prefer no!

Use one or two avacoados (usually one per person) and smash it up and mix all ingredients together. I usually squeeze 2 limes on this because I like mine with a lot of lime taste! Just add more or less of the ingredients you like.

Canned diced (I prefer petite diced) tomatoes are great in a pinch. And if you have garlic powder and cilantro on hand, you can make up a tasty little salsa with the rest of the tomatoes that don't go in the guacamole. (Just use the tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped cilantro - not too much - garlic powder, salt and pepper.) Yum!

You and Scott should try making it with some softened cream cheese. It just adds a little something extra that makes it that much creamier!!! I've been doing that with my last couple of batches and it's totally YUMM-O!!! :) Just in case you get a desire to try that way, as well!!

I do it the exact same way but I prefer lemons to limes, try it! Yep, very addicting, I prefer when its first made, not as good after it sets in the fridge so usually eat it all up the first day/nite! :-)

Sea salt taste amazing in guacamole! I too am obsessed with guacamole...last year at my old school, I had daily request from other teachers to make it for the lounge! YUM!!! I'm making your famous poppy-seed chicken tonight...can't wait! :)
